Awards

Recently, we got a letter from Ryan's teacher. He was getting an award for Accelerated Reading. On tests, he was getting many 80 % or better. David was able to show up for his award this time. While watching the assembly, David was astounded that the award was also giving the gift certificates away: Jamba Juice, AMC Movies, and Starbucks! What a classic way to get a gift certificate. Ryan did not get the gift certificate this time.

He was so proud to get an Accelerated Reading Award. His teacher told me he jumped from 1.5 to 2.9 for Reading Comprehension within 7 months. Now, he is getting another award next month because he has earned so much points in reading.

The next day, I met his teacher for the parent conference. We discussed on his second benchmarks from his I.E.P. He met all of the goals! The team was really pleased that he did extremely well in school.

Lost a Tooth

All in this week, Ryan's upper tooth was wiggled. I have tried to help him to move his tooth around each day. While I was at the grocery, his front tooth was pulled out by him in a front of David. He sent him a video through by my pager.

Now, I will have to think about how much should a tooth fairy put the money under his pillow tonight?

Sleeping Over

When we received a letter from the boys' school asking us if we were interested having our boys staying the "Reading Activities" night, I thought this was a win-win situation for both of us. The purpose of sleeping over were encouraging kids to read books, and purchase many new books for the library. I personally thought it was a splendid idea.

On the day of sleeping over the night, Ryan had been talking all day. "Mom, we are having sleep over tonight. We need to bring books, pillow, sleeping bag," said Ryan. He actually was looking forward to sharing all of the fun along with the other kids at school. Dylan wanted to stay home, but knowing he needs to learn to sleep at other's place such as Summer Camp.

By the time, we arrived, Dylan immediately wanted to sit down and read books. Ryan was so curious out there. While we were observing the place before left them for the night, we were surprised that the air mattresses were set up for their children.

Then, Dylan and Ryan gave their thumbs up to let know that it was time for us to leave. We eventually did for the night. I can't hardly hear all about this special event.

Star Wars

Know what? Would you consider me loony if I admit that I NEVER or EVER watch any Star War Movie after part I ? I stopped liking watching any Science Movie. All I know that they were fighting and don't even know their names at all.

But on one night, we had surprise visitors at Cub Scouts Banquet. It was the Star War trooper. The boys were thrilled to see them there.


The boys had a good time chatting and playing with the Star War Troopers. Now, David tried so hard to convince me to watch all Star War movies. I still will NOT let him convincing me.

Happy Early Spring!

Oh, I love SPRING!!! That's why I am posting on my new background blog. Isn't it beauty???

Here are the reasons why I love Spring:

1) Seeing all of the beautiful flowers blooming.

2) Many new animals are being born. My cats were born in Spring.

3) I can't wait to wear capri pants, and sandals.

4) Sitting and eating outside of the patio during the meal

5) Spring Cleaning!

6) More importantly, this year will be my first student teacher. This means I will be a mentor teacher for two months. This will look good on my resume'.

What do you love about Spring?

Praying

On our way back from seeing a tax agency, Dylan decided to pray before eating our dinner.

He was praying to: wish me well as I have had a bad sinus headache all day. I couldn't stay home due to meeting our tax agency. He also was praying to make us home safe and sound after it was raining cats and dogs. He even mentioned to make sure we are not getting sick from eating our dinner. Certainly, he was a very thoughtful young boy!
